Senator Elizabeth
Little will be joined by Allen Schriver, regional manager for
Northern New York, New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Stephen T.
Shafer, superintendent of schools, Malone Central School District,
on Friday, November 18, to announce the completion of a 6-kilowatt
photovoltaic (PV) installation at the Franklin Academy High School.
In addition, energy efficiency initiatives at the Franklin Academy
and the Davis Elementary School will be announced.

The PV installation
is mounted atop Franklin Academy and is the first NYPA solar power
installation in the North Country. It will provide a continuous
source of clean energy for the high school by supplementing power
the school receives from the grid. A special connection to the
school’s computer network will allow students to monitor energy
production.

Immediately
following remarks from Senator Little and Schriver, a student will
demonstrate the computer connection.
